Profile: Randy Choate is an effective lefty specialist, but he doesn’t put in enough innings to be worthy of a roster spot, even if he does pick up a good deal of holds. (Zach Sanders)

Profile: If you look up "lefty specialist" in the encyclopedia, you'll likely see a picture of Choate. In his 13 major-league seasons, the 38-year-old has held lefties to a paltry .249 weighted on-base average, while righties have hit him to the tune of a .352 wOBA. He has never thrown more than 50.2 innings in any single season, and that was back in 2004. Guys like Choate are valuable real-life commodities, but he doesn't pitch often enough to be fantasy-relevant. (Scott Strandberg)

The Quick Opinion: Choate's career strikeout rate (7.68 per nine) and earned run average (3.84) are less than exciting, and become even more forgettable when one factors in the fact that he only throws about 35 innings per season.
